As summer approaches, many Midwest homeowners brace for the spike in energy bills. But what if the real problem isn’t your AC… it’s your windows?
Old, underperforming windows are one of the biggest culprits behind high cooling costs. If your home can’t hold the cool air in and keep the hot sun out, your HVAC system works overtime — and your wallet takes the hit.
So how do you know it’s time for a window upgrade? That bill from MidAmerican Energy that keeps going up isn’t the ONLY sign! Here are five clear signs to look for before the heatwave hits.
1. Your Living Room Feels Like a Sauna by Noon
If you’re cranking the AC but your home still feels like a greenhouse, your windows may be letting in too much solar heat. Modern, energy-efficient windows feature low-E glass that reflects heat, helping your home stay cooler — without driving up your electricity bill.
2. You Spot Fog Between the Glass Panes
Fog or condensation inside your double-pane windows isn’t just annoying — it means the seal has failed. That trapped moisture ruins insulation and signals that your window isn’t doing its job. Summer sun will only amplify the problem.
3. Windows Are Sticking or Won’t Stay Open
If your windows are a fight to open or they slam shut unexpectedly, the frame could be warped. Not only is this frustrating, but it also poses a safety hazard and limits airflow — something every homeowner needs more of in the hot months.
4. Your Energy Bills Keep Climbing
Rising energy bills in summer can feel unavoidable — but they shouldn’t skyrocket without reason. Leaky, drafty windows force your AC to run longer and harder, costing you comfort and cash. New windows can dramatically cut cooling costs.
5. They Just Look… Old
Curb appeal matters. Faded frames, chipped paint, and cloudy glass make your home look tired — and may signal deeper issues. Upgrading to sleek, modern styles (like ProVia’s Endure™ windows) instantly elevates your home’s look while boosting efficiency.
